Hi, we already have a daughter called Larissa and we are expecting a baby boy and are stuck on names. We like these names so far; Raphael (Raph), Nathaniel (Nate), Xavier (Xave), Gabriel (Gabe) but not sure if they go with Larissa. WDYT? any other suggestions would be great too. Thanks, Camille and Evan.

I need help on our daughter’s middle name. We definately think a family name would be great, but it does not have to be. It’s an honor, for sure, but our families are very laid back and don’t expect that..They just want our happiness and the joy of their FIRST grandchild :) My husand is an only child, so that’s all they got..hehe..While they are very non-chalant about the naming, they are very expectant we produce several children..of course. They came from BIG families, but my mother-in-law had health problems after her first baby, my husband, so she wasn’t able to have the big family she wanted, expected. So..we were thinking Kathleen after her or after my mom, Gweneth. My mom hated Gweneth, though, and loved Gwen..She’d only go by Gwen, and I think had she still been here she’d elbow me if I suggested Gweneth as Mia’s middle name...She’d want it to be "Gwen" like she preferred. What do you think? We want a good-sized family, so I’m not worried about having enough children to honor both. If you’re disagreeable to both names, you can suggest others, of course. Thank you, Cecilia & (he’s asleep, but Luciano. too).

Hi there, my husband loves Summer. The last baby we had I got my own way with Breanna Lee. If it’s a girl again I’ll let him have his way but what about a mn?? Any other suggestions would be appreciated but I only Like short mn’s Thanks

My husband is set on Estelle being our daughters middle name. I don’t particularly like it but it means a lot to him. Having said that, I have no idea what would work well, flow and sound beautiful! Please help.....

It's our first child, and she's a girl. Our last name is Watson. I was going for Suzanna Adelle for a while, but grew not to like it. I've also liked the names Skyler Dean and Stormy Kay in the past, but decided against them. Is there any way you can help?

Baby Name Genie:

With names like Skyler and Stormy, I’m seeing a definite meteorological theme here. Not to rain on your parade, but the forecast shows a different name for your daughter. Name her Sadie Joy for a baby girl with a sunny disposition.
